XF 1.5 How to display search results as threads not posts ?

[vlom31]

Hi,

Right now when I make a search it gives me a list of posts, so it's often multiple lines referring to differents posts within a same thread...

How do I change that behaviour to displaying a list of threads instead ?

Check 'Display results as threads' at the bottom of the search form: https://xenforo.com/community/search/?type=post

My initial post wasn't clear enugh, I know about the manual option.

I want to make it the default behaviour for all my members

You should be able to edit the template and add checked="checked" for that input.

Only works when using full search form, which is 10% of the times, most of time people will use the search bar which doesn't have that checkbox

Tried adding the checkbox line to the search bar form, not working..

It's not possible unless you're searching threads/posts specifically (rather than everywhere). You might be able to force that with some manual changes to the quick search, though it's not something I've looked into.
